APGN and the People’s Government of Chizhou City, and undertaken by National
Geoparks Network Center and Jiuhuashan Geopark Administrative Committee, the International

Center and Anhui Province attended the meeting. Geopark representatives from
Tianzhushan, Huangshan, Lushan and Longhushan also attended the workshop.
Mr. He Qingcheng, vice-president of Chinese

Network Center, hosted the meeting. Focusing on the theme “Integration of Geo-landscape
and Local Culture”, participants collectively shared practical experience,
explored future new developments and engaged in in-depth exchanges on the integration
of Jiuhuashan geo-landscape and local culture.
Tianzhushan and Jiuhuashan are
sister-geoparks and both are located in the south part of Anhui Province, only
170km away from each other. Both geoparks are magnificent with different
characteristics of granite landscape. Since Tianzhushan and Jiuhuashan
established sister-geoparks, both have held colorful cooperation activities on
geo-heritage protection, scientific research, science popularization and
geo-tourism. This workshop was not only a symposium, but also a favorable platform for sister geoparks to engage in communication. This meeting was a huge success.
